thanks to Yehey.com and Island Cove
I'm living here in Bacoor, Cavite and I always hear the resort nearby called "Island Cove", Lace and her family are talking about it sometimes and me the curious one see the resort in pictures and online. I planned years ago to go there and spend a relaxing day but my time is very limited and because of my work last year, that dream vacation is not granted. But I'm glad that Yehey.com and Island Cove put up a Bloggerventures event and I got lucky to be part of it.
Its a 15 min. jeepney ride from Lace's house going to Island Cove, we rode this baby bus going to Cavite City and then we drop off infront of the gate of Island Cove. A shuttle pick us up and drove it in the main hall were we met our blogger friends and the organizers. Afte eating, we got our group and team mates for the adventure, then we started touring around the Island Cove and learn lots of info about it. The place is a perfect venue for team building and company outing, I saw that their facilities are good and It is much nearer in Manila. I prefer going here and the are lots of attractions can be seen, they have a mini zoo, videoke center, paint ball, restaurant, live band, bars, and floating huts.
I just love the zoo part, and because I love to see animals and how they keep it alive in their mini sanctuary, their Tigers are much more healthier than other Tigers in some zoos in Manila. They also breed Ostriches and Eagles. It was a tiring walkathon for us, and the tour didn't stop in every venue we went in. Glad that they have this electric powered shuttle that was used in carrying us and touring around the Island Cove.

The contest of ala Amazing Race started after the Island Cove tour, me and my white team mates are struggling to complete all the task and challenge, I almost lost my balance in the sack race, and because that I'm no longer physically fit in some action activities, I try to be calm and never rush things, going smooth and being careful. Because I don't want to go home with injury and wounds in my legs or arms. But I'm glad that the race ended and we got the. 5th place position, best of 6 place. Lace is in the other team, so we got separated already and compete with each other teams. The most challenging part for me that time is to run and take the giant slide for 2 consecutive times. It almost drains my energy, but glad that I made it alive ahahah.
Here are some videos of the Bloggerventure contest

After the contest, we rested and took a 45 min. dip in their pool, I relaxed myself under the shade and wow, I feel great and I almost fell asleep floating in the pool. Then after the dip, we went to the fisherman's warf and met the owner of the Island Cove, Mr. Gilbert Remulla.
He shared to us some history of the Island Cove and also their future plans in developing more centers and activity area for their guests. I feel that the Island Cove is like a far away place, in peace and quiet, relaxing haven and paradise outside Manila.
